Mickie James opened up WWE’s Forbidden Door at the 2022 Royal Rumble event, when she entered the women’s Royal Rumble match with her IMPACT Knockouts Championship to her IMPACT theme song.
James’ participation in the Rumble was surprising for multiple reasons, given she was released from WWE last year, and went public with her displeasure about the company sending her belongings to her in a trash bag.
Mickie recently spoke to SportsKeeda about the trash bag incident last year, where she revealed that WWE President Nick Khan personally apologised to her at the Royal Rumble for the incident.
She said:
“I don’t feel like I was ever vindictive or (negative), because I spoke to Vince on the phone personally the day that it happened. He called me and we had a conversation. I go back and replay that day in my head so many times. I had missed calls from Johnny Ace, from (Triple H), from Stephanie. they had all sent me text messages and I was also in the middle of a photoshoot when the thing went viral. Even Nick Khan came up to me at the show and apologized. I think he was a part of the company but I hadn’t met him or knew who he was at that time, because it was an early transitional phase. But even he apologized to me and (said) this should have never happened, and I agree. It should have never happened, it shouldn’t have happened ten years ago, and now it will never happen again.”
Mickie James also recently said that she believes that IMPACT Wrestling and WWE will work together more in the future following the Royal Rumble event.
